CAMP RUNELS
ABOUT CAMP
Nestled on 300 acres on the shores of Little Island Pond, Camp Runels is the daytime summer home for girls entering 1st through 10th grade. Campers sign up for a themed program each session and explore activities related to that topic throughout their time at camp. All programs include swimming, boating, campfires, games, outdoor cooking, crafts and all that camp has to offer. Girls may also attend an optional overnight on Wednesday nights if they are interested. For additional information: email or call (617)350-8335.

Typical Day
Each day girls begin with an opening Flag Ceremony and singing. Girl Scouts then proceed to enjoy fun activities which include arts & crafts, swimming, fun sports, and working on various Girl Scout badges and patches. The girls end their day with the traditional Flag Ceremony. More about a typical day at camp (PDF)
About the Director
Sarah “Fluke” Leshay is the Camp Runels Director. This is Fluke’s third summer directing Camp Runels and her tenth summer working at Girl Scout camp. Her favorite memories as a girl are of final campfire at Girl Scout camp. She loves to sing camp songs, swim in the lake, and get messy in arts and crafts while at camp. Fluke believes that Girl Scout camp gives girls a chance to try new activities in a safe and supportive environment, as well as helping to cultivate lifelong friendships.
